Actually my brother asked me this question, he has Mepis 8 installed on his system and downloaded Ario from synaptic, but, when it starts it says it cannot connect to MPD server(check connection), what exactly is MPD server and how can this problem be resolved.

Thanks for mentioning Ario. I hadn't heard of it before.
I run mpd on an older computer attached to my Stereo and access it through other computers in the house. I'd been using gmpc but they changed the gui recently making it much harder to use unless you go full screen with it. I've tried InkMusic as well, but Ario looks like it might be a keeper.
It works well once you have mpd set up.

Mpd works really well in that sort of client server configuration because it will run on almost any old box. I had it running for years on a K6-II 400Mhz underclocked to 266Mhz so I could slow the fan enough to be silent.

This seems to be raising a new question, I personally don't know anything about Ario or MPD and as such my question now is can Ario be used as a stand alone media player?
I downloaded and installed both Ario and MPD and am getting the same result 'cannot connect to mpd server'.
